Letter to Earth

Warmly received by spiritual thinkers Neal Donald Walsch and Matthew Fox , Wise's eloquent, challenging work, which was originally self-published in 1998, is likely to find a wider audience in this new edition. Wise describes herself as a participant in a Greater Universe, who arrived early at the ""convergence of self and soul."" She believes that we're approaching an Age of Inspired Realism, as evidenced by current movements toward spirituality, simplicity and nature. Writing from her expanded consciousness, not her human point of view, she opens with an achingly beautiful letter to her young daughter about why she chose the task of explaining what she believes to be universal truths. She devotes each chapter to a question about expanded consciousness, ranging from the existence of God to the nature of good and evil, life after death, astral space, bilocation, interdimensional activity and human communication with others in the cosmos. The heart of the work lies in the author's deeply felt, subtly expressed wisdom and wonderful description of enlightenment. We can all access our multi-dimensional powers, she believes, by acting with love, integrity, honesty, inner-directedness and nonjudgmental self-love. Even readers who become impatient with abstract discussions of life-force energy and vibrational magnetism will benefit from persevering with this book and contemplating Wise's insights. 8-city author tour.
